This gym is fantastic! And so much more than a gym. They have handled a transition to online training during COVID19 seamlessly. From allowing members to check out equipment to weekly check ins to daily zoom classes, these amazing people have ensured continued support and programming. Rashid, Gerry, and Jake all check in with me weekly to see how my training is going and review videos of my lifts to give me feedback and tips to work on. If you're looking for a fit fam and unparalleled commitment to its members, you've come to the right place.
Can't say enough good things about RVA Performance Training. There's something for everyone there, regardless of your fitness level. Countless options for class times and amazing instructors. Highly recommend if you are new to Cross Fit .... or have been doing it for years!
Talk about life giving you lemons and making lemonade...XFIT RVA has done a great job of adapting to COVID-19 by making great online classes available throughout the day that are hard, varied and use what you have in your home/garage. And they really take a personal interest with email outreach and follow up.
RVA Performance Training is the best!
Coming from someone who has traveled(lived) up and down the east coast I've been to a ton of other boxes and this one is on another level. Filled with people that are trying to be a better version of themselves daily makes for a very enjoyable experience. Not to many days go by before someone hits a PR or a first (Pull-up, Muscle up, Double Under). If you are looking for a place with a great community atmosphere full of coaches who love what they do this is it.
Joined Crossfit RVA a year ago, and it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made. The instructors are fantastic and provide world class instruction. The community is second to none. I wouldn't imagine working out anywhere else. Also you'll get stronger and faster. So that's pretty cool too.
Hard to find but so worth it! So many great programs! From CrossFit to RVAFit, yoga to massage and basics classes on barbell and gymnastics there's something for everybody.
I don't usually participate in the extra programs/services a gym offers but here they're so accessible it's easy to get involved. I'd hate to go a week without the meals from Human Food, Yoga Sundays are great, I've learned a ton (not literally) at Barbell Basics, and recently had an amazing massage. Not to mention getting cold brewed coffee on tap on the way out of crossfit class. It's all so easy to do.
Last but most importantly, the coaches are wonderfully motivating and knowledgeable especially in being able to accommodate those of us who are beginners and/or have physical issues (like old age in my case). I'm always amazed at what I can accomplish with a little pushing/coaching from them!

We went here for a competition. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Becoming a part of the family!
Let me start by saying that my wife and I have had really wonderful experiences at both the Crossfit gyms we've been a part of since we started a couple years ago. In fact, I'd say we've been spoiled by the camaraderie, coaching, and community at those gyms. Therefore, when it came time for us to make an unavoidable switch based on a recent move, we were both extremely nervous about how RVA Performance would stack up, and whether we'd find a home here.
Roughly 3 months later, I can now say that we have indeed found ourselves a part of the RVA family!
From the very beginning, not only were we welcomed by everyone we met, we were taken care of. We could sense early that the staff here weren't just concerned with us as another number added to their membership, but truly cared about our experience. When it comes to Crossfit boxes, the choice is as much about fit as it is fitness, and the staff here have been super diligent about assessing the needs of the athletes, and executing to meet those needs.
Some of the things about RVA Performance that we've come to LOVE are:
1. A serious variety of programs that are staffed by extremely knowledgeable, caring coaches. During any given week, we can participate in RVAFit, Yoga, Crossfit, Barbell Club and other classes. The great part is, these are all included in our membership. Crossfit alone is constantly varied, but having access to these other programs gives us amazing options for our fitness desires and needs.
2. A coaching staff that is very very good at what they do. They are ALL attentive, super responsive, and clearly love helping us meet OUR goals, while having a lot of fun.
3. No pressure to become the next [insert Crossfit Games contender here]. Coming to RVA Performance, every athlete is working on becoming a better, more fit version of themselves. Though competition is present, it's fun and it's evident that it's meant to motivate individuals to individual improvement, not necessarily peer to peer comparison (this is important). Essentially, you will get what YOU need each and ever workout.
4. Uber family-friendly environment. Of course as a family that includes 5 children, it's important that my kids' "parent's gym" also be a place that they are welcome and can eventually call "their gym." They are. Again, we didn't know if we'd find a place that this was true again after leaving our previous two gyms (which also were very family friendly and accommodating).
5. GAINZ!!!! The measure of the programming of a gym is improved fitness. When we came back from California, we hadn't worked out in 2 months solid. I know for sure that in my short time at RVA Performance, I'm right back to where I thought I'd never be again. I was seriously so out of shape when I arrived that I was hesitant to ever go back to Crossfit.
Because of the fun, stress-free environment-I literally just show up, and the results have been beyond my expectation. From the warm up, till the clock hits zero the programming has been challenging, and EFFECTIVE.
I know this is a long review, but if you're looking for a gym on the Northside of Richmond, I would say your search should start and end at RVA Performance Training.......

CrossFit RVA is more than a gym. It allows me to meet new friends, laugh with old friends while reaching goals I thought I wouldn't achieve. I've never been able to do a lot of the required movements before CrossFit but since I've continued to push myself and stayed consistent, I can say I'm happy with my results and where I am today. That is thanks to great coaches, flexible class schedules and the ability to scale/adjust the workouts to better fit my level of ability so I am not discouraged to continue.
Huge thanks to those who didn't push too hard but hard enough to encourage me to finish every workout successfully.

A great space and a vast amount of equipment. They have been around 10 years and share a wealth of knowledge with anyone who enters. There is something for everyone.

CrossFit RVA has by far the most knowledgeable instructors in the Richmond area. The gym is one of the largest facilities I've been to with several different programs (weightlifting, strongman, endurance, RVA Fit, and yoga) not normally offered at a CrossFit only gym. Always accepting of drop-ins and new members. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else for strength and conditioning.
Came here for a free group class and had a great time. Place had just opened so they still had some construction going on, and the place was a little hard to find, but the class itself was an amazing work out. They made it easy for a beginner and made sure everyone went at their own pace. That said I my thighs were sore for days because of all the squats. It was a good burn though.
Can't speak for the CrossFit classes, but the Olympic lifting competition was fun and well organized!
Great gym - location, facility and people are all awesome.
I have been consistently impressed with these guys over the past 2 years. They have helped me recoup from shoulder ROM limitations that stem from an old injury years ago. Rather than shy away from my incessant questions, the instructors are always super informative with advice and scaling when needed. The move to pair everyone with specific instructor so they can have individualized coaching while working on long and short term goals was an attention to detail that I didn't expect. It has helped challenge my athleticism and increase my skill set in ways that I was not expecting. I highly recommend CrossfitRVA to both new and seasoned athletes who enjoy cross-training.
